Characteristics :
(based on aliases) |
Trojan
- Trojan horses may allow a hacker remote access to a target computer system, and perform various operations. The types of operations are limited by user privileges on target computer, which normally includes data theft, modification or deletion of files, keystroke logging, and use of machine as part of a botnet to perform mass spamming or to distribute Denial-of-service attacks.
- Trojan horses can be installed through software bundling (included as part of a software application available downloaded from file sharing network), email attachments, instant-messaging network, websites containing executable content (such as ActiveX control), etc. It can also be self-replicated by spreading itself through the use of application exploits.
Trojan-Downloader
- This type of Trojan secretly downloads malicious files from remote web and ftp servers, then installs and executes the files. Both the download and execution of files can be done without user's knowledge or authorization.
Viruses written for specific platforms
- The virus is designed to infect Windows 32-bit executable programs, and works in different Win32-environments.
Rogue software
- A rogue anti-virus does not provide any functionality to prevent or remove viruses. It is often promoted by deceptive or fraudulent means. Rogue software may claim to be a legitimate anti-virus, display misleading scan reports in order to alarm users into buying their software. Once purchased, the software normally displays screens of various processes, and claims that the issue is fixed. But in fact, the software may do nothing at all.
